About this video
The MilaMura is a Kimura variation named after Aaron Milam. It is executed from the same position as the S-Lock setup, but with a unique approach that involves sitting in the same plane as the opponent to prevent them from getting up.
- Begin by lifting the opponent's elbow to increase pressure on their shoulder joint.
- Lean forward and step one leg out to the side, sliding the knee through to the opponent's hip.
- Plank on the opponent's shoulder, placing your elbow inside their armpit to maximize immobilization.
- Ensure your body is close to the opponent, with your knee against their hip and your torso against the back of their arm.
- Rotate the opponent's elbow by lifting your own, curl your hands, and straighten your arms slightly to apply the submission.
- Maintain a close connection to the opponent; do not push them too far away.
- Use the outside leg to pendulum up if you need to regain the position, sending the inside leg in to continue the sequence.
- Focus on the hands and the submission, steering the energy into the technique.
- Practice the move as a drill, allowing the opponent to turn over to work on variations and control.
- Understand the importance of capturing the correct geometry and using minimal energy to secure the submission.
This variation can be integrated with other techniques from the series, emphasizing fluid movement and mutual gain. The key is to control the opponent's geometry before applying the finishing energy.
